Kevin Lynn, SVCS Windows Software SIG Leader and Tom Wilson, Willows SeniorNet Learning Center

Now you can carry your favorite computer programs along with all of your bookmarks, settings, email and more with you. Use them on any Windows computer. All without leaving any personal data behind.
Tom Wilson has been using portable applications for several years, will demonstrate several of his favorite applications by plugging his USB stick into a laptop.
As usual, there will be a “Random Access” session to discuss Windows problems and solutions.
